Speaking on the successful completion of the 12th edition of GJIIE, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said“South India is the country's major consumer of gold and diamond jewellery and through GJIIE 2016, UBM India provided an international trading platform enabling jewellery, diamond, pearl and gemstone suppliers to congregate, interact and network with key buyers, both local and international in the Southern region. The overwhelming industry response further validates the industry need for such a large trade platform to tap the potential of South India’s market, for both exhibitors and visitors. The expo co-hosted with MJDMA, is the second largest jewellery expo in the country and is one of the four successful pan India jewellery shows, held annually by UBM India. This year, the expo saw a growth of 35% with exhibitors from Mumbai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi, Jaipur, Trissur, Coimbatore, Trivandrum, Madurai, amongst many others.”
